fb sync issue

I love the captivate, but when it comes to RAM, captivate sucks big time. I think Samsung should be sued for lying to customers. I mean it is advertised as having 512mb RAM but, In reality it has a mere 326 Mb, more close to 384 Mb than 512 Mb I suppose.

My friend has a Google Nexus One and it clearly shows as having 420 MB( advertised as 512).

Also, I am having a problem with the FB sync. When I click on Facebook in Accounts & Sync All I get is a black screen and after like 30seconds a notification appears stating "You have X new messages". I don't get any options for Calender, photos, Contacts Sync :(. Someone help me plz

OS: ICSSGS RC4.1

KERNEL: ICy GLITCH V14 B3

Use Apex launcher. It gives that option by default, it runs on any ICS version

Press Thanks if it helped :)

[Captivate Android Development] pickupman66:
Scrypt.. Try Haxsync.... it will sync the facebook contacts for sure... not sure about the other goodies since I never sue that anyways. I am running the Collective ROM with the apex launcher. didnt know it did that. in the past, I just used a program called Autokiller memory and set a high threshhold. it worked quite well for me, but havent seen the need since going to ICS.

Can't find apex launcher in market. Is it smooth like stock launcher?

Sure we can use auto killers and the such but that defeats the purpose....just adding more things to ram...the beauty of the back button kills apps option is that its incorporated into rom.....seems like the best option.

mmm, i'm stuck in a recovery bootloop after i flashed the i897 param_LFS.tar file to change the AT&T logo,

looks like ICS doesn't like tampering with the param_LFS.tar file, does someone have solution? :(

It's not in market Google it.... It's somewhere here in xda

Remember this is a AOSP and it run on a different partition than Samsung. SIO using odin to flash is a big no no
[Captivate Android Development] bruzski:
Thx prbass, but is there any other way to change the bootloader logo??
[Captivate Android Development] prbassplayer:
To my knowledge ODIN back to samsung firmware and flash image then reflash ICS. I hope I'm wrong and someone can correct me.

Slight lag

I've been running TeamHacksung build 13 for a while, and the itch to try ICSSGS was inescapable. I flashed it, all went well, no issues. I quickly noticed a difference between ICSSGS and THS.

Lag.

Not a lot, mind you, but just enough to notice. Not as much as Froyo, and less than Gingerbread, too. Now, coming from THS, I can tell you that the smooth, responsive experience was hard to give up, so I gave it a full 48 hours, and decided to move back to THS...build 16 this time. Much better. Smooth and fast again.

I'm not bashing ICSSGS whatsoever, there are TONS of things about it I like better, but it's so hard to give up the smoothness of THS. I don't know if any of the other flashaholics have noted this, but I'd like to hear about it if they have, and wonder if a solution might be in the cards sometime in the future. Again, no disrespect, the devs on this ROM are doing some phenomenal work, just thought I'd share my experience.
[Captivate Android Development] topiratiko:
that's ALL in the kernel....the glitch kernel IS smoother than the stock icssgs kernel....at the expense of slightly higher battery usage. Flash icssgs then glitch 14b3 and you'll see what I mean ;)

Guys, no offense, but discussions of non-stock kernels is not what I come to this thread for. If any of the other kernels do help, that is great, but we are trying to do the devs a service by reporting problems with the base platform, and not cluttering up the thread. Just my two cents.

Anyone have that script that fixes the EFS permissions? I know its in this ROM, but I have another phone and I need to use it on my phone (Nexus S). I have some EFS IMEI issues....
[Captivate Android Development] Grey Ghost:
Have you tried setting the permissions manually through an ADB terminal session or the like?
[Captivate Android Development] topiratiko:
But alas. Some people do. Just like I did and just like others have left stock kernel for a different one. If you don't like a post, skip it. Honestly, everyone thinking they're some sort of forum police is what's getting me....this is a forum to discuss this rom, advance it improve it and troubleshoot it. There's nothing out of context here.

He was recommending Icy Glitch. Most of the times ppl recommend Glitch over stock. We aren't troubleshooting Glitch issues, but if by some reason a problem arises that is Glitch related and someone has a work around, then that person helps. Otherwise its shrugged as Glitch issue and let them figure it out on their own or let them ask @ glitch thread see if anyone helps.

I understand your point, but I don't think they are derailing.

BOT i put this rom on two phones today. my phone is noticing significant power drain and my wifes phone is working fantastic. idk what i did different to hers but it ids working alot better then mine is. she currently has 61% left with 8hrs on battery and mine has 60% on two hours and 41 minutes lol. well i flashes the kernel you mentioned and hopefully i will notice some difference tomorrow. this kernel is working fantastic though phone is working alot smoother. Should i fully deplete the battery 3 times and then wipe batt stats?
[Captivate Android Development] prbassplayer:
Is the actual use any different? e.i screen on, sync, data, wifi etc.

Edit: what mbc663 said is also possible.
[Captivate Android Development] mbc663:
Try switching batteries, maybe your battery is older???
[Captivate Android Development] topiratiko:
That's an absurd amount of drain. Download battery calibration by NeMa from market and follow its simple directions u should b good. If not then reflash. Still an issue your gonna need a battery

Sent from my Galaxy S Captivate on ICSSGS 4.2 w/IcyGlitch v14b3
[Captivate Android Development] prbassplayer:
Battery calibration is placebo. It does get better with time. As in give it a full cycle or 2 and the rom gets better at telling how much charge it actually has. Regardless that doesn't sound like bad calibration, more like app/process gone crazy or just a very old battery.
[Captivate Android Development] GiXXerSTeveO:
Mine currently says this

57% 2 h 35m on batt

screen 60

android os 21%

android sys 5%

voice calls 4%

call standby 3%

mediaserver 3%

google services 2%

my wifes

53% 8h 41m on batt

screen 32%

voice calls 16%

android os 13%

android system 9%

facebook 9%

I know it says that my screen is what is taking up all the battery i am sure. i have reset my phone several times thinking that maybe the screen is still on while sleeping. but i will deifnately give that app an a look at. if all else fails i might just reflash tomorrow and see what happens. as far as old battery goes i wouldbt doubt it. my wife has had her cappy about a year now and i have had mine since the very first day it came out lol
[Captivate Android Development] prbassplayer:
Lol don't reflash. How much time is the screen on? 60% doesn't mean 60% of the time. Let it discharge and then charge full again and give it another go.

What's your screen on time?

Sent from my Galaxy S Captivate on ICSSGS 4.2 w/IcyGlitch v14b3
[Captivate Android Development] GiXXerSTeveO:
not really on that much as far as i know. ok i will do that and take it from there. so should i let it deplete and fully charge three times and then wipe batt stats?
[Captivate Android Development] mbc663:
Don't worry about the battery calibration. It doesn't really manage the battery any better then a few charge cycles.
[Captivate Android Development] prbassplayer:
You can check actual on time by tapping on display on battery stats.
[Captivate Android Development] mbc663:
And u can also hold Vol down and press power at the same time to take a screen shot and post it here instead of typing all that, going back and forth, yikes!
[Captivate Android Development] salazar44:
i read that all ICS 4.0-4.03 screen times are miscalculated. Its better explained in this post here regarding the High Keep Awake Times (which should be fixed in 4.04). There is a pretty good explanation from Googles Dianne Hackborn herself!

She also explains that deleting battery stats does nothing to improve battery life. As mbc663 stated, the best battery calibration is a few full cycle charges (charge fully and let completely die, repeat).

deleting battery stats does absolutely nothing to help calibrate battery or improve the battery life. Read this LINK

Does anyone have any alternatives for doing a full backup so If I have to reflash again, I can at least recover all of my setting up that takes so long?
[Captivate Android Development] Sgt_Bilbo:
Ok, first off, let me give a HUGE thanks to the devs on this ROM. I got it installed yesterday and so far, this is my new daily driver. Everything I've tried thus-far has worked flawless...except for one thing.

I installed Skyve to try out voice commands, and as soon as I got that installed, I got a message stating "Google TTS service has stopped working". I got that same message about 5 times and finally uninstalled Skyve, which appeared to solve the issue.

Is this an issue w/ the ROM or the app itself? Could be something to look into after more pressing issues are addressed.

Thanks again for all your hard work, Devs!!

USB Issue

Which drivers are being used for this ROM? I cannot seem to get USB to recognize the device as writable. Currently I have the Android R4 drivers installed. I ave tried the Samsung drivers as well as the Nexus drivers. The drives (Internal and External) will mount just fine and I can transfer from the device but get a write-protected error when trying to place files on either of the drives. All versions of ICS have been giving me this problem. I am currently on StockPlus RC4.2 and connecting to a Windows XP machine.
[Captivate Android Development] prbassplayer:
Don't ask the same thing on 2 threads. As I said on Q&A stock+ is not ICSSGS and there is no support for it on XDA
[Captivate Android Development] scottcwhite:
You can also just hit the power button and when the menu pops up select screen shot

***Sorry, missed the above***
[Captivate Android Development] Xenocide83:
Regardless if I am using StockPlus or not, the issue is still there for me. I only switched to StockPlus for RC4_v2 to see what the difference was between the two. If you want me to flash back to the "supported" version to get my question answered then I will but that seems a little absurd seeing as it doesn't matter which ICS ROM I use, none of them allow me to write, only read.
[Captivate Android Development] prbassplayer:
Well tell you what I'm using ICSSGS RC4.2 with Glitch V14b3 just installed kies mini (didn't have drivers on my windows partition) and I was able to delete and add files to both internal and external SD. There for It works. As to why it doesn't work on your end Anything from effed up R/W permissions, bad cable to your computer being an idiot. I don't know, I can say it works. My recommendation ODIN to "stock" and reflash everything.
[Captivate Android Development] diakonos:
Sheesh, I should pay more attention. I agree, this method is much easier than trying to get the combo button press to work.
[Captivate Android Development] Xenocide83:
My guess if that the R/W permissions are screwy somewhere as I am able to read just fine from the Internal/External which eliminates a bad cable theory. I flash back to stock every release to ensure there are no conflicting values anywhere. I've set permissions in Root Explorer to R/W on almost every folder I could find, lol, still no luck. I could try Kies Mini but I was under the impression that since this was ICS, Kies was no longer valid since it isn't part of the OS anymore.
[Captivate Android Development] prbassplayer:
Uh I would have believed so. But I believe the kies mini I used was one I used for a i9100 I worked on recently, so maybe its universal samsung drivers? I have no clue. I just tried download mode and ODIN detected it so awesome... I guess? lol
